I actually hope Cena retires heel. Kayfabe doesn't exist anymore, we all know it's just a character and a script... there is no need for him to retire face like there would have been in the 80s. No one treats retired heels like heels anymore.
I still see the route to protecting Cena's overall legacy is him losing at WM, and then redeeming himself by winning #17 the "Right way".
I dunno how you turn him back around into the same babyface and let him go on a final run if you give him a heel title run. I don't think they have time for that.
That would make his heel turn a COMPLETE waste of time.
He'd still get a solid 5 months out of it.
Yeah... Not really.But if he doesn't win the title as a heel It's a waste of time
Yeah... Not really.
No it is, the point of turning Cena heel is to get a heel title run, and turn back when he loses the belt preferably in his last match because he can't bring himself to cheat anymore.
Start the redemption arc at survivor series or maybe Bad Blood.
End it in December with him seeing the light.
He absolutely turned heel for a title run and it'd be foolish to think otherwise.No it is, the point of turning Cena heel is to get a heel title run, and turn back when he loses the belt preferably in his last match because he can't bring himself to cheat anymore.
